Good news for hockey fans! Comcast and NHL Network recently announced that they have signed a long-term agreement to add the network to Comcast's
Digital Classic level of service by the start of the 2009-10 NHL
season. With this new agreement, the NHL Network will be available to
nearly two-thirds of the Comcast digital cable customer base.
"We're excited to extend our relationship with Comcast and its customers by providing more NHL programming to more fans, as this is another important step in NHL Network's ongoing pursuit of broader distribution," said John Collins, NHL COO. "We are pleased that Comcast has seen value in the NHL Network to expand its commitment and are confident that there will be more expansion deals for the Network to come."
In addition to live NHL games aired on NHL Network, Comcast's Digital Classic customers get access to special event programming, including on-location at NHL Winter Classic™, NHL All-Star, NHL Entry Draft and Stanley Cup™ Final, post-game press conferences, IIHF World Junior hockey, documentaries and profiles, plus NHL on the Fly™, which airs nightly throughout the hockey season.
